A light emitting device includes a base, light sources, wall portions, and a half mirror. The base has a light reflecting surface and has a first side on which the light reflecting surface is provided. The light sources are mounted on the first side of the base. Each of the wall portions surrounds each of the plurality of light sources. The half mirror is to reflect a part of incident light and to transmit another part of the incident light. The half mirror is disposed opposite to the base such that the light sources are provided between the half mirror and the base.

A light fixture includes a flexible shroud, an outer housing, and a light source within a light engine. The light engine couples within the outer housing so as to define a gap between the light engine and an inner perimeter of the outer housing. The flexible shroud forms at least first and second edge portions. The light engine couples with the first edge portion, and the inner perimeter of the outer housing couples with the second edge portion, so that the flexible shroud covers at least part of the gap. A shroud for a light fixture may include a flexible shroud that defines one or more edges. The shroud may include one or more coupling features along the one or more edges. The flexible shroud may form a thickness variation at the coupling feature, to engage a corresponding coupling feature of a light fixture.

Provided is a partial drive-type light source device including an excitation light source that is formed from a plurality of light-emitting elements and is partially drivable, a phosphor sheet disposed at a position separated from the excitation light source and containing a phosphor that converts at least part of a wavelength region of incident light from the excitation light source and releases emitted light in a wavelength region differing from the incident light, and a wavelength-selective reflection film that is disposed between the excitation light source and the phosphor sheet and that transmits at least part of light in the wavelength region of the incident light from the excitation light source and reflects at least part of light in the wavelength region of the emitted light from the phosphor sheet.

A covert information viewing system converts visible light to infrared wavelengths that can be transmitted for detection by an infrared-sensitive detector, such as night vision goggles, without detection by the human eye. The system includes a visible light information source emitting radiation as visible light, and a covert covering including an energy converting layer for absorbing the visible light emitted from the visible light information source and converting the visible light to infrared wavelengths, and a light blocking layer capable of absorbing unconverted visible light and transmitting infrared wavelengths. The covert covering is attached to the visible light information source and oriented to cover visible light emitted from the visible light information source, but it is also easily removed from the visible light information source.

A wheel-shaped wavelength conversion member includes a first porous ceramic layer having a porosity of at least 20% by volume, a phosphor layer formed on a first principal surface of the first porous ceramic layer, a ceramic heat dissipation layer having a porosity of 20% or less by volume provided on a second principal surface of the first porous ceramic layer opposite the first principal surface, and a second porous ceramic layer having a porosity of at least 20% by volume provided on a surface of the heat dissipation layer opposite the first porous ceramic layer.

Shades and/or reflectors for luminaires. The luminaires may be retrofitted with the shades and/or reflectors to selectively control the direction and/or spectrum of light emitted by the luminaires. In particular, the efficiency and/or color contrast of a luminaire may be improved by using wavelength shifting material, such as a phosphor, to absorb less desired wavelengths and transmit more desired wavelengths. The shade may provide a transmissive filter which reflects desired wavelengths such as red and green, while passing less desired wavelengths (e.g., blue) toward the wavelength shifting material which emits such as light of more desirable wavelengths.

An insert device for receiving an artistic medium thereon for use with a lampshade. The device may include an insert configured to be used in association with a lampshade. The insert may include a first side and a second side. A design may be located on the first side of the insert, where the insert with the design is configured to be drawn on using an artistic implement. The insert may be made from a translucent material that is capable of receiving and retaining an artistic medium thereon. The artistic medium can be erased or otherwise removed from the translucent material. The design on the insert may be used in association with a lampshade such that it is exposed for viewing in association with the lampshade when the insert is in a three-dimensional shape.
